I'm trying to have a photo gallery display in a Lightbox (or a similar gallery type thing), but my client wants the photos to come from a Facebook album to avoid having to upload photos twice.

i'm working within wordpress, but i looked around at some of the plugins available and they don't seem very promising.

what is my best plan of attack here? I have't really begun to dig into the facebook api, but if that's what you guys suggest than i'll go ahead and do it.i'm pretty familiar with javascript and php. i don't want to go down that rabbit hole until i'm sure that it's going to work.

i'm just really looking for people to share some insights, because i don't really know where to begin.

Edit:

This is where i'm stuck...

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Facebook Photo Gallery</title>
    <script type='text/javascript' src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

$.getJSON('http://graph.facebook.com/356611067762340/photos').then(function(response) {
        // 0-8, 0 returns the largest available images, 8 the smallest
        var imageIndex = 5;

        var images = _(response.data)
            .chain()
            .pluck('images')
            .pluck(imageIndex)
            .value();

        console.log(images);

        _(images).each(function(image) {
            $('#image-container').append(
                $('<img>').attr('src', image.source)
            );
        });

        });
    </script>


    </head>

    <body>
    <div id="image-container"></div>

    </body>
    </html>

this seems totally valid to me, why isn't it working...?
